I love BetterHelp. I pay a monthly fee of $180, which to me is definitely worth it. First of all, you can request another therapist until you find one that you really vibe with. I went through two before I found the one that I loved. My therapist encourages me to send messages throughout the week in between sessions if I'm having a hard time or just need someone to talk to. She responds within 24 hours every time. Then you get to choose if you would like your live sessions through text, phone call, or video. I always do video because I like to see who I'm talking to, but you can pick whatever you're comfortable with. You get one live session a week and unlimited texts that they will respond to whenever they have the time. I love BetterHelp and I think it's well worth the money. If you're in a pinch you can pay per session, but I haven't done that yet.
Pros and Cons:
Bottom Line: Yes, I would recommend this to a friend
